Sliding Doors

Arriving at work one morning, Helen discovers she has been sacked. She returns home when an amazing thing happens, time reverses itself for a few seconds and a second version of herself is created. In one reality Helen catches the tube train, meets James and arrives home to find her lover Gerry cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend Lydia. In the other reality she misses the train, gets mugged, goes to hospital and arrives home to find Gerry alone in the shower. The two realities move forward in tandem; in one Helen forms a happy, loving relationship with James; in the other her life becomes more and more wretched as she takes on two jobs to support her cheating boyfriend as he supposedly writes his novel but in fact carries on a torrid affair with Lydia.
